 Ladies Tea Variation: We used honey roasted cashews. This added a sweet and salty taste to the recipe.

I love the textures as much as the flavors in this fresh salad. It’s crunchy, salty, creamy and even a little bit healthy!

Recipe type: Salad

Cuisine: American

Serves: 8

Ingredients

  • 2 c. cauliflower florets
  • 2 c. frozen peas, thawed
  • ⅛ c. sliced green onions (more to taste)
  • ¼ c. diced Swiss cheese (optional)
  • 3 T. dry ranch dressing and dip seasoning
  • ½ t. dried dill weed
  • ½ c. plain Greek yogurt
  • ¼ c. sour cream (low fat if desired)
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • ½ c. cashews

 

Instructions

  1. In a small mixing bowl mix together yogurt, sour cream, ranch seasoning, dill, salt and pepper. Thin with a little milk if it looks to thick. You want it a little thinner than the consistency of sour cream.
  2. Add peas, cauliflower, onions and cheese (if desired) to a large mixing bowl. Toss.
  3. Pour yogurt mixture over veggies and toss to coat. Adjust seasonings with salt and pepper.
  4. Cover and chill for an hour.
  5. Just before serving sprinkle with cashews. May toss the cashew in with the veggies if desired.
